Independence Park

Kazakh Carpet Museum

Seyitzhan Kari Mosque

Baidibek Bi Monument

Independence Park is among the most popular destinations in Shymkent. Its centerpiece is the Altyn Shanyrak Monument, crafted from 137 metal elements, each symbolizing one of the nationalities residing in Kazakhstan. The park also features a “dancing” fountain, a grand flagpole commemorating Kazakhstan’s independence, and numerous steles marking significant dates in the nation’s history.

A truly unique Carpet Museum can be found in the basement of a typical Soviet-era residential building in the heart of Shymkent. This museum was created by Dana Bektaeva, who has spent over a decade curating a collection of antique Kazakh carpets. The basement is adorned with carpets from floor to ceiling. However, the museum extends beyond its walls. Step into the courtyard, and you’ll see fences, garage gates, and playground railings decorated with intricate patterns that replicate the designs of the carpets.

The Seyitzhan Kari Eszhanuly Mosque captivates visitors with its stunning white exterior. The mosque was inspired by the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi. It bears a striking resemblance to its Emirati counterpart, albeit on a smaller scale. Shymkent's new mosque is also a contender for two Guinness World Records: it boasts the largest dome in Central Asia and the tallest mihrab (a niche in the wall that indicates the direction of Mecca).

The Baidibek Bi Monument is the tallest in Kazakhstan. The statue itself stands 10 meters (33 ft) tall, and with its pedestal, the total height reaches an impressive 23 meters (75 ft). Baidibek Karashauly, a prominent figure of the 15th century, played a significant role in uniting the Kazakh people against invading tribes. He was also renowned for his wisdom, fairness, and skill in conflict resolution.
